The twins.
(Has the benefit of also applying to another sexualized bit of the human anatomy.)

Oh come on. No need to get religious over tits. I mean, they are nice and everything.
If you must, t least quote them as twins of fawns. It feels… profanely catholic without it.
Have you ever seen the film “Up Pompeii” with Frankie Howard. That’s the only other case of “tit for tat” being used that way that I know.

Language is a sort of contactual relationship. You can’t choose your own words and expect others to understand you - you have to at least meet the half-way. Both ‘kiddies’ or ‘titays’ strike me as the bastard daughter of the Apple spelling checker and some random webpage ‘adult filter’. I recognise the origin word, but only after hauling in a few seconds of synaptic slack.
I humbly propose the gender-level term ‘honk meat’, with feminine variants of ‘anterior honk meat’ and ‘posterior honk meat’. And presumably the same for men with moobs, or something equally honksome.
Damme, I had to fight the Apple spell-checker tooth and nail for each noun back there.
PS: In the same article, it is argued that “pubes” should be pronounce ‘pub-ease’ because Latin did not have the ‘-yu-’ vowel. Which is a bit like saying that ‘ceramic’ should always be ‘keramic’ because the soft ‘c’ was not Latin. And, bottomize me, but the Apple spell-checker is back again for round 2…

I think “mammary glands” is going to catch on soon.

i don’t think one is able to get a measure on the digression of language by analyzing slang for human bits and pieces. we’ve always had more slang terms for those then the sum total of other language.
In fact if i use the right tone of voice i could say “check out her ________” or “did you see the ________ on that guy” and use just about any word i can think of and still have the meaning be clear.
fun madlibs for all.
Yes, that makes perfect sense if (and only if) you’re speaking Latin.

Who, guy in blue polo?
I don’t think someone who treks around in a baseball helmet and camelpack while wielding a bed post to look more intimidating should be trusted to make these decisions.

No one here is titillated by this discussion? Not a jot or a tittle?
That speaks to the quality of the people on the bbs, and truly my heart swells in my breast.

Actually I think they are called “mewbs” now, but I can’t really keep up with it all.

Having observed a couple surgeries as a nursing student, I am absolutely certain this mad lib plays out in the operating room with highly specific anatomical references. (Ex: ‘Wow, check out her anastomosis of the middle temporal [artery] with the internal maxillary [artery].’)

This is both a well done song parody and a pretty comprehensive list. Faves here include “physics tutors” and “Picasso’s cubes”:
